President’s Message Troy HogrenPB&PA President

Dear Fraternal Brothers and Sisters, Here we are already five months into the year 2014. The summer months are right around the corner, which allows us to spend more time outside with our families and do all the outdoor activities we enjoy. The warmer temperatures typically increase the calls for service in our communities, so when you are working your shifts, use your tactics and be extra vigilant when dealing with the public. Nationwide, at the time of this writing we have already lost 42 Officers this year and along with 1 in Illinois. (source: http://www.odmp.org/search/year/2014) On May 1st, I had the opportunity to attend the annual Illinois Police Officers Memorial in Springfield, Illinois. Three Officers and a K-9 were honored. As I gave the invocation at the church service that morning I realized how important this Memorial really is to the loved ones attending and as we join their families for those Officer’s who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I assume that most, if not all of you have been paying attention to what is going on in Springfield concerning the attacks on our Pensions. Several Illinois Mayors arrived at the Capitol to argue for drastic and illegal reforms. This is to vacate their agreement to pay into and support their local pension plans promised to the Police and Fire employees in their respective communities. To stay on top of these issues, please go to the PB&PA Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/illinoispbpa. Very soon the PB&PA of Illinois will be starting a raffle for a 2014 Harley Davidson Motorcycle. We will be reaching out to our local units in an effort to help make the raffle a success. We will have a booth at the 2014 Illinois State Fair in August where tickets will be sold for $10.00 each. The bike will be given away at the Fairgrounds. More information is forthcoming in the next few weeks. The 2014 State Golf Outing will be July 16th in Danville and the 2014 Softball Tournament will be July 25th-27th in Springfield. I know that both Units are looking forward to hosting the events for you. Please contact those Units if you wish to participate and get signed up. We also have a new Receptionist in the Springfield Office. Her name is Ms. Leah Petty. If you have any questions please email her at [email protected] or call her at 217-523-5141 for assistance. Welcome aboard Leah! I also want to congratulate the four recipients for the 2014 Hobart “Curley” Rogers Scholarship. They are: Hunter Hicks - Unit #11, Sydnie Smith - Unit #6, Jared Ahrens - Unit #30, and Hailey Borowczyk - Unit #39 Fraternally, Troy L. Hogren Troy L. Hogren President


IMPACT TEEN DRIVERS TRAIN THE TRAINER WORKSHOP July 15, 2014

9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. (a working lunch will be provided for pre-‐registered participants)

LETAC Training Center 840 S. Spring, Suite B, Springfield, IL 62704

Did you know that car crashes are the leading cause of death among teens? Did you ALSO know that 75% of these crashes have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH DRUGS OR ALCOHOL? This deadly epidemic claims the lives of 4,000 teens each year and seriously injures 400,000 more. The most frustrating aspect of this public health crisis is that it is completely preventable with a combination of quality education, training, and enforcement. Impact Teen Drivers is a non-‐profit organization dedicated to educating teens, parents, and community members about the dangers of reckless and distracted driving. The ultimate goal is to save lives by changing attitudes and behaviors that become lethal behind the wheels of a car. The Impact Teen Drivers program is evidence-‐based, cost-‐effective, and reaches teens with engaging educational videos, interactive materials, and high-‐energy presentations and discussions. Teens are moving targets and Impact Teen Drivers continually provides teen-‐centric campaigns and contests to get teens to share the safe driving message with their peers, innovative web content, and a strong social media presence. The Train the Trainers workshop is for teachers, safety educators, law enforcement, and other facilitators. The Impact Teen Drivers Train the Trainer workshop leads facilitators through the Impact Teen Drivers program. The five-‐hour workshop provides participants with evidence-‐based tools to deliver high-‐energy presentations focused on the dangers of reckless and distracted driving. Participants will learn about reckless and distracted driving research and statistics, Graduated Driver Licensing laws, the “What do You Consider Lethal” campaign, and how to effectively communicate the essentials of safe driving to teens, parents, and members of their communities. The workshop provides participants with examples of school and community-‐based programs and presentations, including parent-‐teen safe driving workshops. Participants will receive informational handouts and guides for facilitating discussion and preparing presentations about teen safe driving for their own reference and to share with other first responders, educators, and community members. The facilitator for this workshop is Dr. Kelly Browning, who has been in leadership positions promoting awareness and education through youth programs over the past 20 years. She received her formal education from Minnesota State University Moorhead, the University of Central Florida, and her Ph.D. in Criminology from the University of South Florida. Prior to coming aboard with Impact Teen Drivers as Executive Director in 2008, Dr. Browning founded an inner city charter school in Tampa, Florida, where she served as the Executive Director. To Register: Email registration to [email protected]. You may also fill out and submit the online registration form through the LETAC website at www.letac.org or call 217-‐726-‐7014 to register by phone (be sure to include all pertinent information). Cancellation: If a class must be canceled for any reason, every effort will be made to do so at least 2 weeks before the class is scheduled to begin. However, there are circumstances where last minute cancellation is out of our control. All individuals who have been registered for training will be contacted at the email address given at registration, so please be sure to provide an email address that is checked often.

LIFETImE mEmBERSHIPAre you nearing retirement after serving your local department for 20 years or more?

Would you like to become a lifetime member with the PB&PA of IL, but your unit is less than 20 years old?

Did you know that you can “buy-out”, at half-price, the years of membership dues that you would need to reach your 20-year minimum with the Association?

For example: Adams County Sheriff’s Depart-ment, Unit #155 joined the Association in 1996. If one of their officers retired now after being on that department for 20 years and having paid Association dues since 1996, he or she would only have 12 years with the PB&PA of Illinois. If he or she wanted to pay for the remaining eight years in advance to become a lifetime member and receive his/her gold card, he or she would need to pay $192 (8 years x $48 per year divided by 2). He or she also has the option to continue paying yearly dues at the full membership rate (currently $48) until such time as he or she reached the 20-year minimum and receives his/her gold card at that time.

As an Illinois Law Enforcement Officer ...

My fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all persons to liberty, equality and justice.

I WILL keep my private life unsullied as an example to all; maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever-secret unless revelation is necessary in the performance of my duty.

I WILL NEVER act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately, without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities.

I RECOGNIzE the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the police service. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before

individual member at binding grievance arbitration at no additional cost to the unit.

Unfair labor practices:The PBLC will process all unfair labor charges against your employer and argue before the State Labor Relations Board at no additional cost the unit or its member.

Defending your rights:Legal advice is as close as a phone callThe Legal Defense fund is a pre-paid, pre-planned legal service available to all certified PBLC members in good standing.

The Legal Defense Benefit includes:• Representation at discipline and

discharge proceedings at Arbitration or before the Police and Fire Board or Civil Service Commission.

• Representation during internal investigation interviews.

• Representation during criminal investigations and proceedings in which the criminal offense allegedly occurred during the performance of the member's official police duties.

• Initial consultation and advice in civil rights violation cases, including referral to a reputable civil rights attorney for representation at a discounted rate.

• Peace of mind in knowing that if you are accused, you have someone to turn to.

Attorney-client relationshipAny member who uses this benefit becomes the client of the individual attorney retained for representation. The PBLC will not infringe upon the attorney’s independent professional judgment in rendering legal services under this plan.

Of Special Note

Legal services will not be provided under this plan if the adverse party is the

Policemen’s Benevolent Labor Committee or the Police Benevolent and Protective

Association of Illinois.

Policemen’s Benevolent Labor CommitteeProfessional Representation for Law Enforcement Professionals

Protecting the protectorsHeading into collective bargaining without a professional negotiator and the backing of a statewide police union is like confronting an armed suspect without a weapon and back-up. Your fellow officers have good intentions, but they’re no match for the experienced negotiators retained by your employer. Bargaining a fair contract requires the work of skilled negotiators and professionals trained in the arts of mediation and arbitration. You need and deserve excellent representation and with the PBLC, you’ll have it.

The PBLC commitmentThe PBLC is a not for profit corporation affiliated with the PB&PA. Our highly trained, specialized staff includes experienced labor representatives and in-house legal counsel, all of whom participate in continuing legal and labor education. The PBLC’s board of directors, also known as the State Labor Committee, is organized by and for the rank and file and is composed solely of full time police officers.

Leading the wayThe PB&PA took the lead in securing collective bargaining rights for law enforcement officers in Illinois. By helping draft the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act and then spearheading its passage, the PB&PA has been at the forefront of police labor issues. The PBLC was created to further advance the PB&PA’s police representation and protection goals. Since its inception, the PBLC has led the way in preserving the rights and enforcing the collective bargaining agreements of Illinois law enforcement professionals.

Serving you is our missionThe PBLC is not concerned with making a profit at the expense of hard working police officers. That’s why police officers from every corner of the

state value their relationship with the PBLC. They know that they can call upon their Labor Representative or an Attorney any time a problem arises — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are committed to providing the best representation possible, when police officers need it. When you’re at work, so is the staff of the PBLC.

Protecting your interestsCollective Bargaining:Your bargaining unit is unique. The PBLC represents each individual bargaining unit based upon the needs, goals and expectations of that Unit. Your PBLC Labor Representative provides assistance, advice and advocacy at the bargaining table.

Contract maintenance:Once an agreement is reached, the PBLC monitors employer/employee actions during the term of the contract to ensure compliance. Your Labor Representative takes a proactive stance by meeting periodically with both the bargaining unit and management to address concerns and prevent misunderstandings.

Interest arbitration:If a satisfactory bargaining agreement cannot be reached, the PBLC will provide an experienced attorney to represent your bargaining unit at interest arbitration at no additional expense to the unit.

Grievance processing:Through a Labor Representative and, in some cases, Legal Counsel, the PBLC provides advice and assistance to bargaining units and individual members in filing and processing grievances.

Grievance arbitration:There are occasions in which a compromise cannot be reached amicably. If your contract provides for grievance arbitration, the PBLC will provide and experienced attorney to represent your bargaining unit or an

Hobart “Curley” Rogers Scholarship Fund for the School Year 2015/2016

Section 1. The purpose of the creation of this scholarship fund is to honor the memory of Hobart “Curley” Rogers and to provide financial assistance to the children of members of our Association. The By-‐laws Committee was designated as the Scholarship Committee and set forth the rules and regulations, which shall determine those individuals eligible for each scholarship. The mandatory minimum guidelines shall be used to determine who receives the scholarships each year as follows:

1) The scholarship fund shall commence in the year 1995. Four (4) $1,000.00 scholarships shall be issued to four eligible applicants entering or enrolled in undergraduate studies.

2) Each year thereafter, four (4) additional scholarships shall be added until a total of sixteen (16) scholarships will be awarded by the year 1998.

3) Once the sixteen (16) scholarships have been issued, the number of scholarships issued per year shall not exceed sixteen (16).

4) All applicants must be a son or daughter of a PB&PA member in good standing with the Association. The term “son or daughter” shall be defined by the Scholarship Committee. The Scholarship Committee defines “son or daughter” to include stepson, stepdaughter, foster son, foster daughter, and legal dependents of the PB&PA member. PB&PA members are not eligible for the scholarships for themselves.

5) The Scholarship Committee shall determine when all applications must be received and set forth when the award shall be issued. The application deadline is March 1 of each year. The Scholarship Committee will meet between March 15 and May 15 of each year to review applications and determine scholarship recipients. Scholarship recipients will be notified by the Scholarship Committee within two (2) weeks following the Committee meeting.

6) Scholarship applications will be made available to each local PB & PA unit. 7) Scholarship applicants must include an essay or personal biography of no more than three pages with

their application. 8) Scholarship funding will be disbursed by semester ($500.00 per semester). 9) Upon receipt of the scholarship, all scholarship recipients must complete at least twelve (12) hours of

course work per semester. Recipients failing to complete twelve (12) hours of course work per semester, or equivalent thereof, will not be issued payment for those semesters. Any recipient who fails to complete twelve (12) hours per semester, or equivalent thereof, for two (2) consecutive semesters shall have their scholarship revoked. Any recipient who fails to complete two (2) twelve (12) hour semesters within two (2) consecutive years from the date of the scholarship issuance, shall have their scholarship revoked. In either case, an alternate, selected by numerical rating and validated by the Scholarship Committee for the current year in which the revocation would take place, shall receive the remaining term of the original scholarship granted the primary recipient, provided the alternate meets all of the requirements at the time of such approval.

10) Scholarship recipients must maintain a “C” average each semester and provide the office of the Executive Director of the PB&PA with a transcript of their grades each semester to maintain their scholarship, for a maximum of four (4) consecutive years.

11) Each scholarship recipient must provide proof of school registration or enrollment prior to receiving funding.

12) Educational institutions that scholarship applicants are requesting funding for must be accredited and approved by the Scholarship Committee.

13) The Executive Board retains the right to overrule any scholarship award issued by the Scholarship Committee.

14) It is expressly understood by all scholarship recipients that he or she possesses no property interest in the scholarship and said scholarship may be revoked at any time. The Scholarship Committee shall have the authority to recommend the revocation of any scholarship at any time and for any reason whatsoever.

Section 2. The Executive Board may, in its discretion, create guidelines for and award additional scholarships, provided that the scholarship committee shall set forth rules and regulations, which shall determine those individuals eligible for each scholarship.

The grants must be used for a youth-oriented program sponsored by the local unit such as athletic sponsorship, educational programs, etc. The specific type of program must be listed on the application.

At the 1992 Convention, the State Executive Board made a recommendation that the Youth Grant should not be used in conjunction with an agency-sponsored program. The Board felt that the intent of the grant is to provide assistance to the local PB & PA Unit sponsored programs, and not to subsidize a program that is administered by a governmental agency.

At the 1996 Convention, held in Champaign, a resolution was passed by the delegates present, which raised the amount of the grants. The resolution stated that local units could apply for a youth grant requesting up to $1,000.

If you have sent your request in, please double check with the Springfield office. The master file will be kept at the office in Springfield and will than be brought to the Convention for review by the Executive Board.

All applications must be returned to the address above by September 15, 2014. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me or the Executive office in Springfield at 800-303-4531.
